As you'll see with my scrolling of the ladder I was hoping for a big move on this & if it had of happened I would of very likely scaled up and down throughout the move. Anyway, I didn't get my way and it ended as a losing trade.kerza wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 11:04 pmI sometimes scale in, but most of the time I enter with my full stake. I've always scaled out of my trades though, taking around a third to half out after 3 to 4 ticks and letting the rest run if the conditions remain the same. I also often wait for a pull back to enter but hadn't really used them for adding to a position until recently. Thanks, that'll be interesting to see your recording tomorrow.jamesg46 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 4:27 pmI’ll often scale into trades. I have different stakes setup on different keystrokes so depending on confidence in something continuing I’ll often take a starting position and sell half after 4 or 5 ticks, wait for a pullback and then enter again through the break of the last high selling half after a few ticks before fully exiting. I haven’t traded today so I’ve not got any recordings but I’ve got a decent example where I was doing this exact thing yesterday and it ended up a loss so when I’m home tomorrow I’ll post it up.kerza wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 4:14 pm
That was good of you to share your whole thought process. I've still to watch my recording back of this market, so I'll look out for this move against what I was doing. It's interesting that you would've left the trade open until it reached your entry price if your closing order hadn't been matched - I would have ended up scaling out. I definitely need to work on my patience!
